Operating sequence:
Press the MEAS key.
Press the MEASURE softkey.
The measurement functions submenu opens.
Using the cursor keys or the rotary knob, select the
POWER SENSOR menu item and confirm with the
ENTER key or the MEASURE softkey.
The R&S FSH opens the screen for power measurements. If no power sensor is connected, it does not
display any measured value and outputs Power sensor (unknown) in the status field. If a power sensor
is connected, the R&S FSH sets up a connection via its interface, displays first the message Power
sensor (Detecting) and then the message Power sensor (Booting) in the status field and, after a few
seconds, displays the type of the sensor connected (R&S FSH-Z44) as well as the measured power.
In the event of incorrect operation or sensor malfunction, the R&S FSH outputs the following error
messages:
Message Cause Remedy
